Shaun says: "If someone holding my stern tries climb up on the deck, or starts pulling their way toward me, I'm going to smack them in the face with my paddle." That would give you a risk of capsize as you whack the victim wouldn't it? I often leave the bungy holding the rudder down on after launch, and have to reach around with the paddle and coax it off. It's unstable while doing this. Belting someone violently with the paddle blade would probably leave me in the water too.
